“Teresa wanted a boy so she went to the fertility clinic and was hoping to get pregnant,” the source close to the Real Housewives of New Jersey star said.
“She had four girls and she wanted a boy. She wanted to give Joe a son so she tried fertility treatments, but it didn’t work, so then it seemed like she felt like she didn’t want to pay them.”
The source said Teresa and Joe simply didn’t pay the fertility clinic that they unsuccessfully used to help her get pregnant again.
“They have been ignoring their financial trouble for years, not paying even a doctor that tried to help them out, “ the source said.
Teresa and Joe have been accused of filing false income statements about their finances but they have pleaded not guilty and are prepared to go to trial in October.
